Everyday Staples #2

It has been a while since I wrote a beauty post of this kind, so I thought it was about time I posted another one. The following products are some that I've been loving a lot lately and that I also used a lot. Firstly, I recently got to try the La Roche Posay BB Cream, which is a moisturizer - bit of coverage - sun protection - blemish healing type of cream, basically an "all in one" product. I was drawn to this brand in particular because I know they are highly recommended by dermatologists, and I like using products that are good for your skin. The Rimmel Stay Matte powder is a lovely product if you need an extra touch to keep you matte during the hot summer days. As for eyebrows, the only product I've been using for months now is the Essence Eyebrow Stylist kit, which is very inexpensive and is actually really good for a natural look. Speaking of natural, I've been enjoying brown eyeliners lately, because they give you a bit more depth to the eyes, but don't look overdone - I've been using the Yves Rocher Kohl Pencil for this. Also from Yves Rocher, I think their Sexy Pulp Mascara is absolutely incredible for giving lots of volume to your lashes and actually making them look longer. Finally, I like to touch it up with a bit of the Sleek Face Form kit, which contains three different products (bronzer, blush & highlighter), and has amazing pigmentation. Sleek is one of the best brands when it comes to pigmentation of their powder products, in my opinion.

I use a BB cream (maybelline or smashbox), then my Rimmel concealer, and whatever powder I have. My blush and bronzer is from E.L.F., then whatever neutral eyes I can make from my Stila In the Light palette. Rimmel brown eyeliner or NARS black eyeliner, Maybelline Plush mascara. For the lips, Rimmel Lipstick from the Kate collection, either 08 or 17, with the Rose Quartz lip liner from Rimmel as well.. The highlight is from Benefit...
